You Are An Individual
You're unique, and it's my job to tailor treatment to your individual needs. I will give you tools and strategies. I will help you craft a plan of action to take control of your life through positive changes -- changes that will last.
I work with young adults through the elderly.
I am a licensed clinical psychologist, trained divorce mediator, and by experience, a life coach. I am credentialed by the Psychology Interjurisdictional Compact (PSYPACT®), to practice telepsychology across 42 state boundaries via a HIPAA-compliant telepsychology program.
My specialties include: relationship issues; divorce, and other difficult life transitions; depression and anxiety; trauma history, especially in women; low self-esteem, and lack of assertiveness; compassion fatigue and stress; grief and loss, including death of pets.
Please note: Since 2024, I no longer participate in-network with health insurance plans. All my current patients are private pay.

About Doctor Frank
I'm known for my compassionate, yet no-nonsense style and plain talk that avoids jargon and waffling. Personally I return your telephone calls by the end of the next business day, and schedule your appointments.
I’m licensed to practice in Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and New York. I’ve completed rigorous training in divorce mediation, and I’m a member of the Rhode Island Mediators Association.
Earlier in my clinical career, I was admissions director at Pederson-Krag mental health center in Huntington, N.Y. Later, I was a consulting staff psychologist at Woonsocket’s Landmark Medical Center, and at its affiliate, Rehabilitation Hospital of Rhode Island, I led psychotherapy groups for patients coping with return-to-work issues and fibromyalgia.
Before becoming "Doctor Frank," I was an award-winning reporter and columnist for the Fort Lauderdale News & Sun-Sentinel newspapers in Florida. More recently, I wrote a weekly self-help column, “Frankly Speaking,” for the Valley Breeze newspapers in northern R.I.
After growing up in Cranston and Pawtucket, and then graduating from Providence College, I earned a master’s degree in journalism at the University of Missouri-Columbia, and a doctorate in psychology at Nova Southeastern University in Florida.
My professional affiliations are: American Psychological Association, Rhode Island Psychological Association, Psychology Interjurisdictional Compact (PSYPACT®), and Rhode Island Mediators Association.
